Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano

Snowfall at base this season 776cm

Posted on Monday 6th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


The snow is back!


A few cm on the ground and counting.


There's quite a wind as well outside where I am here near Maruike and the blowy/snowy conditions are expected to continue for the day. Regular snowfall is expected through this week too, so if you are planning on being here wrap up well and come prepared. The slopes are on for a good reset, so conditions should be getting back up there.


A decent amount of fresh snow to report tomorrow I think. O-tanoshi-mi-ni!
